possibility of opposition. The Crusade against the Cathars had been a success that was too late
               to avert the disastrous influence of the Grail. For theses reasons, Ruge Guiepo ordered, in first
               place,  to  exterminate  the  damn  lineage  of  the  Hohenstaufen  and  to  dislodge  the  House  of
               Awabia  from  the  sicilian  Kingdoms:  such  directives  had  been  already  communicated  to  the
               Pope Clement IV. In second term, the Blessed Lord sent to the excution the old sentence that
               was  pending  over  the  House  of  Tharsis:  in  the  White  Fraternity  was  not  forgoten  that  the
               Stone of Venus of the Tartessians could not be found until then; and now was not possible to
               run the risk of a surprising apparition of a new Grail. The solution consisted in to eliminate
               ipso facto to their possessors and possible operators.
                      The beloved of The One wanted that this time that the mission of the Immortals would
               be  approximated  to  the  perfection  and  due  to  this  he  entrusted  them,  in  an  extraordinary
               gesture, the Dorché, His Divine Sceptre: with it, according to what explained with excitation
               the  Immortals,  all  was  possible.  Such  Sceptre,  of  metal  and  stone,  formed  part  of  a  set  of
               instruments that the Traitor Gods made for the Supreme Priests, when millions of years before
               they founded the White Fraternity and pledged to work for the maintenance of the Uncreated
               Spirit incarcerated in the animal-man and to stimulate the evolution of the Created Soul. With
               the Dorché the word acquired the Power of the Word, and the voice became in the Verb; all the
               created and named things by The One were sensitive to the Logos of the owner of the Sceptre.

                      Of  course,  the  name  that  the  Immortals  gave  to  the  instrument  was  other,  but  the
               Frenchstranslated it the best they could in the word «Dorché».


                      In sum, the Elder of the Days wanted no fails in the new attempt of the Immortals to
               destroy the Lords of Tharsis and he had gifted them with a terrible weapon: he had transferred
               His Power.
                      What  would  do  the  Immortals  with  the  Dorché?  They  would  try  to  disintegrate  the
               fundaments of the Lineage acting over the blood, over the message contained in the blood. And
               for it the needed a sample of that blood, a representative of the damned lineage by The One: to
               obtain  such  sample  the  Immortals  would  go  personally  due  to,  they  clarified,  the  Lords  of
               Tharsis were terrible beings, to whom the Templars could not even dream to stop them. For the
               surprise of the Golem, because the Hill Candelaria was many kilometres away from Aracena,
               they manifested their intention to travel by foot; but the atonishment was huge when they
               watched  the  next  acts  of  Bera  and  Birsha:  they  stood  up  facing  each  other,  separated  by  a
               distance of five or six steps, and they looked each other straight in their eyes without batting
               an  eye;  then  they  started  to  pronounce  in  counterpoint  a  series  of  words  in  an  unknown
               language, to which they impressed particular rhytmic cadence; one moment after that, both
               made a prodigious leap which elevated them over the walls of the Castle. They were then in the
               weapon courtyard and, when they were thrown, they gained a major height than the walls and
               they lost in the night. The Golem ran through the stairs up to the battlements and squinted in
               direction of the horizon; and they looked under the light of the moon, at a large distance, two
               little points that were fading away in huge leaps: they were Bera and Birsha advancing towards
               the Chapel of the Hill Candelaria.
                      Since the advent of Bera and Birsha the facts occurred in a vertiginpus manner, leaving
